@boochie cause i know posts will be slow this week. I have to fly to ny tomorrow..having a party there wed, coming back thurs. just too much going on but i want to keep ya’ll updated and informed. haha! ya’ll know ya’ll good for cussing me out when a sista don’t post fast enough. jailhouse where you at?? haha!

Necole, if she came out trying to be a model, it wouldn’t have worked. As mentioned in the other post, these pictures were airbrushed. Without makeup/airbrushing, she is very average looking. There’s nothing wrong with looking average, but airbrushing is not cheap and designers/photographers don’t put out money like that for someone who is just starting out. She needed a way to get her foot in the door and she did that by screeching (some call it singing) and hiring a stylist to help her create this false bad girl persona. She became “in demand” in the fashion world because a lot of people are sheep and flock to what they’re being told is “hot” and there you have it. Without all of the factors stated above, she’d still be Robin Fenty, screeching on a porch in Barbados

lol@necole..I agree, modeling is her only talent..to bad with all the daily ops, I feel its nothing I have not seen before..I am kinda bored with her..
lol@perez, I cosign..even after the compters @ vogue drastically changed her,she still did Not make the main mag..oh well maybe next time..

I could see if you said she should have been a model if singing wasn’t working out for her…..but on the contrary it is. Quite well as a matter of fact. She has how many number ones?
A chick of all trades if you ask me. Add modeling to the list of things she does better than your favorites.
Gotta respect that…or just hate on it. Either will suffice. At the end of the day she still wins.
& She better werk cause that spread is INSANE!

@pfft.
i agreee. she doesnt have that uniqueness to her. Than again everybody is on model even on myspace with a kodak camera.
She is apretty girl but gorgeous with make-up. She can always model for rocawear.

Rihanna cant sing but her voice is unique, you def know its her when a record comes on. Modeling is a good look for her but if people keep purchasing her albums why stop? I cant sing for shit but I know if Jay Z offered me a record deal to get my foot in the door better believe I will be singing. Regarding airbrushing, its not Rihanna’s decision she can request not to but at the end of the day the magazine chooses whats best for their magazine. Creative Directors usually decide such things then it is sent to the art digital team for airbrushing/photoshopping.

Loves it! It really doesnt matter what people say about this chick, you cant deny the fact that she has become a household name (for whatever reason). We are living in a Beyonce AND Rihanna entertainment age. Cthagod said it, and it’s quite true. Hate or love it. Thats all =)

@Necole, I know she isn’t airbrushed when she’s walking down the street(lol) but she still always has “trendy” clothes and makeup on. When I see her in regular clothes and less makeup, she just looks average. And again, there’s nothing wrong with being average.

@Tiffany
How did she slay the whole industry becuz of her circa flasback inspired photo spread? Or becuz she is modeling cuz Rihanna ain’t really doing nothing in the industry on her own…and please I’m not here to argue just wondering?

Vogue has had a few, a few.. there was this issue last year with multiple black models on the cover. Correct me if Im wrong but Jennifer Hudson, Oprah, Beyonce and I think 2 more graced within the last few years.

lol@black woman..no need to come at for my rihanna comments coz I will never change..dnt like her and never will..
@dani, preach..this girl can be a model but lets be real..without photoshoop and being airbrushed she will never qualify for being a runway model type..she just does not cut it..also her day look is enhanced by a cake of makeup on her face as well as her clothes..take that away and it aint nothing but air..real models are discovered in the rough, she was never!!! jus saying..

lastly and more importantly, cnt see what’s going on the site but bitchie I hope they are pics of u up there pimping yourself up for your birthday..even u can be a model with dblanks by yourside.lol.kidding, u know I heart u girl..

I know Veronica Webb was one of the first but don’t know if it was Vogue in particular. Then u also have Naomi Campgell who was the 1st for French Vogue, Chanel Iman was in the group photo…there were nine altogether.

This coming season is all about 80’s looks, it will be cold so I will def try and find some. Hot Pink on black lol
Anyway, JLo did the video using flashdance and I have to say that is my ish… aww Jlo I really enjoy her.

I do miss real supermodels, now I cant even name one besides Gisselle. Back in the 80’s there were more black models/supermodels than today and that bothers me because the youngins are only seeing Rihanna/B/Amber as model role models. Naomi is still relevant but she is old school where are the news ones besides Iman?

Please stop lying (lol), no way… It wasnt Jlo doing the dance stunts???? Is anything real anymore? Im so bummed knowing this.
Honestly im waiting for Jlo to come back on the scene, her albums are usually really good.

@Queen Daisy, the girl who T.O. went on a date with claimed to be a supermodel and she’s black…
as far as non black, i’d say the closest person to a supermodel is Adrianna Lima…Is Alek Wek still working?

good question Queen. I’m personally not moved any more or less by a celebrity endorsement but best believe if I could have a celebrity wearing the jewelry I make, I would! lol. It has been proven to work.

I agree with two people…I do not like! Im looking at the pictures for what they are and not because its Rihanna. Everything Rihanna does ISNT exquisite. Some of yall need to get her titty ball out of your mouth. Its not that serious and you do NOT know her nor are you on her payroll.

It does work, and the trick is giving it to them for free just so they can wear it. I have done it several of times but im not looking to start a jewelry line its something I do on the side.
Remember when MC Hammer was called a sale out because he was in Pepsi commercials and products. Now everyone is doing the same. Hammer was the first rappers to get endorsements and no one ever gave him credit for changing the game or anything.

yo prez my sis just change hers shes a dialysis nurse and she say she never knew they made that kinda money until her friend told..she said they need alot of dialysis nurses and dialsis techs just to put the ppl on the machine

these are really cool pictures (HUGE props to whoever the photographer and editor was), but i wouldn’t call her a “model”… she has the same look on her face (a blank stare) in almost all the pictures. great photo spread, nonetheless.

I have seen Rihanna in person and she is far from the average girl. She is stunningly beautiful in person and most of you who say she is average would be eating your words. Why do you think so many interviewers and people that have seen her in person say that she is beautiful in person? because she is. No makeup has nothing to do with it because a lot of people wear makeup and they are still Fugly. At the end of the day Rihanna is successful and a beautiful young lady and for that I am proud of her. In spite of all the hate she still continues to live her life. Rihanna fans love her and they are the ones that purchase her albums so she has nothing to worry about. I hope non of you are Beyonces fan taking about photoshopped because Beyonce is the queen of photoshop. That bitch is huge and yet she looks smaller on magazine covers and she has horrible scars on her legs yet you never see them. News flash even Chris Brown that( woman beater) gets photoshopped he has acne problems. Nasty!Love Rihanna she looks fierce!!!!!!!!!

Chris beater Brown’s fan club if you love him so much maybe you can help him to pick up garbage. I cannot wait for the first picture of him at work. That Larry King interview is going to be hilarious. We all know the English Language is a challenge for him to speak. I will be watching and laughing.Caucasians are going to crucify him rightly so just like how you guys do Rihanna. Fair is fair.

@Rihanna is fierce, since I was the one calling Rihanna average, I’ll assume that your post was for me, so I will address you as such.
I will not be eating my words because Rihanna IS indeed average. Average does not mean ugly, which is what a lot of people seem to be confusing. Average is actually pretty in my eyes and I see pretty girls every day. Being called average is not an insult. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in my eyes, there is nothing remarkable about Rihanna.
Also, no one said anything bad about her being photoshopped. I just pointed out the fact that she was photoshopped and if she was an actual model, she would have been looked over because they would not have paid for a new model to be photoshopped. She would have simply been replaced.

@ Rihanna is Fierce!!! girl you got me over here ROLLING, like im literally in tears lmao!! Girl why you going in on Chris like that?? You know he’s trying work on his speech!! I just don’t get it for all the people with negative things to say, if you don’t like Rihanna why did you waste your time to click on the post just to be an asshole and hate on her, it must be something you just can’t resist about her to actually make a comment on it but I guess its only natural:(

Although I’m tired of her and Beyawnce, always everywhere and on every blog. I will say these pictures are beyond hot!! they are on fiya and your right NB, bish should be modeling as she can’t sing for s*it!! totally fierce, whoever did these pictures captured the fierce factor!!

@hahahaha yes I have heard her speak and she speaks proper english with an accent because of where she originated from.She cannot help having an accent. If you went to Barbados you would be the one with the accent. I love her accent by the way. Chris Brown speaks ebonics. He grew up in the United States of America and as far as I know the primary language spoken is english so whats his reason for not speaking proper English???

She’s an industry whore. She does anything and everything that the media wants, and they will make her look good as long as she does whatever she is told. Good for her. Make that money girl, but dont let it make you. Oh, too late.

RIHANNA IS SLUT!!!! SHE WILL NEVER BE ON BEYONCE LVL LOL TALK TO ME WHEN SHE GET THE COVER OF VOGUE OR BEEN ON OVER 300 MAG COVERS. RIHANNA IS WACK SHE CAN’T SING TO SAVE HER LIFE. THIS A BEYONCE WORLD NOW IT!!! POW!!!

RIHANNA IS SLUT!!!! SHE WILL NEVER BE ON BEYONCE LVL LOL TALK TO ME WHEN SHE GET THE COVER OF VOGUE OR BEEN ON OVER 300 MAG COVERS. RIHANNA IS WACK SHE CAN’T SING TO SAVE HER LIFE. THIS IS A BEYONCE WORLD KNOW IT!!! POW!!!

@Rihanna Fierce….because Chris has a lisp and is country ass hell…nothing wrong with that but if you want to talk about someone that sounds like a ass is Jay-Z did anyone catch that interview he did last night on Bill Maher on HBO….I can’t stand Jay but I felt soooo embrassed for him he sounded a hot ass mess….he’s been in the game for over what 15 years and is around 40…no excuse thought I would tell you that…funny ass hell…

ok so Rihanna would never cut it as a runway model…and she average…?? So you all are blind right? Have you seen the girl eyes and bone structure….def not average. Never a runway model…why? When you got weird looking ugly ppl walking down the runway like Alek Wek…PLEASE STFU! And take my comments the way you want. And no I am not white…before all you ppl start saying im Racist cuz Alek is dark skinned…no the bish is not attractive. Now put Rih on a runway and watch all the sheep and goats come out to see the show. THE END! BISH YOU BETTA WORK!

Runway or fashion models at least are 5’10. Rihanna is far from that. They like you to be 5’11 though. And you need to be between 112-124 pounds. With little to no body fat, I interned at a high end fashion agency and they turned down types that fit that profile ALLL the time. You had to be VERRRRRY special, and not in high end clothes but in jeans and a white tank and NOOO makeup.

WOW ALEX WEK is ugly? ALEX WEK is a real supermodel and she will kill Rihanna on any photoshoot. And being that ALEX WEKs look is far from your average lightskin chic and not your definition of beautiful I commend her even more for getting where she is today without sleeping with anyone or being a puppet She has no one to thank but her “weird and ugliness” and her talent

OK,this will be my last post and then i have to leave (the last one in the office, as usual lol)
@Not a rih stan, in MY (keyword:MY) opinion, yes, she is average. Once again, this is MY opinion, which I am entitled to, as you are entitled to yours. I see girls and women with nice bone structure daily. Green eyes in black women are more common that you’d think. Should all of these women be runway models, too? And Rihanna is too “thick” to be a runway model. I think she’s a nice size, but I’m not the one running the fashion industry.
Also telling someone to STFU because their opinion is different from yours is very telling of your maturity level.

These pics are gorgeous. I don’t like Rihanna as a singer, but I can give props when they are due. I agree Necole this is her true calling, put the mic down. I’ve actually said she should be a professional model ever since 2007 when I saw her cover and fashion spread for Vibe Vixen. Those pics really show her strength in modeling as well.

Am I the only person who thinks Rihanna looks like Sindel from Mortal Kombat….Well just a random thought..Some of yall is funny…Thats just a ton of air brushing, touch up, etc….Smh…Rihanna can do no wrong huh….

Just to point out the Grace Jones homage was planned, not jacked, and this is because Fall trend’s are giving an ode to Grace Jones….not all the trends but some, just like Madonna’s Material Girl was a past trend this year…

Island Herpe Chick looks nice, and although models have to be a certain height, weight, etc… the fashion world also know that celebrity endorsementss sell their things alot faster…so using Island Herpe Chick will guarantee sales….same for magazines.

“Necole, if she came out trying to be a model, it wouldn’t have worked. As mentioned in the other post, these pictures were airbrushed. Without makeup/airbrushing, she is very average looking…She needed a way to get her foot in the door and she did that by screeching (some call it singing) and hiring a stylist to help her create this false bad girl persona. She became “in demand” in the fashion world because a lot of people are sheep and flock to what they’re being told is “hot” and there you have it. Without all of the factors stated above, she’d still be Robin Fenty”

Wow…What are you doing in my head? Get out, and leave my thoughts behind!

@Capri, i think you need to look up the definition of “opinion.” Not everyone’s is going to be the same. And since you asked, the only reason why I don’t have my pic up is because of this chick on facebook. We shared many mutual friends and when she friend requested me, I figured we knew each other from somewhere, but i just didn’t remember her. Come to find out, this chick stole pictures of me and my 1 year old and used them as her own on her website about how to care for biracial children’s hair. So…sorry. Even though I know you want to see a picture of me so you can nitpick and criticize my every feature, it’s not gonna happen.If you were to see me and honestly thought I was average looking, who am I to try to change your opinion? It would just be stupid and a waste of time, just like anyone trying to convince me that Rihanna is anything above average is just a waste of time. Have a lovely day

@dani c- she is though lol. everytime people say she’s stunning, she always has A LOT of makeup on anyway. i personally judge people on their looks without makeup, and of the rare times that she hasn’t worn makeup (like when she was jet-skiing with cb), she looked like a regular girl- nothing to go crazy over. take any pretty girl and put makeup on her and she’ll look like an outstanding beauty too. you’re right. she wouldn’t have been a supermodel even if she had chosen the modeling path b/c those women have amazing bone structure (have you seen giselle’s cheekbones??) and look unique (i don’t find lily cole to be pretty but she’s definitely eye-catching). they’re not average

@Rain, thank you! that’s all i was trying to say. people act like i said she’s a fugly street walker. lol. And honestly, it’s not even her, but the people who act like she’s the second coming of Christ who make me dislike her more and more. Like I said in the Ciara/Kim K post, people will defend those they don’t know harder than they’d defend their own family.

i agree with everything Dani C has posted. and in my own opnion, this girl was photoshopped to DEATH. look at her face, hips, and thighs… everything. you know that’s not robin fenty’s true body. i understand the true models are photoshopped as well, but not this extreme. her figure was completely slimmed down. i disagree with saying that someone this overly photoshopped should have been a model, it’s not actually her. and necole, i’ve seen rihanna in person, on the street, with no makeup, she is very average. pretty, but an average woman nonetheless. otherwise the clothes and concept are amazing. whoever the art director for this shoot was did a fantastic job. shouldn’t expect anything less than this for high fashion =]

am i the only one that thinks the pic with the long high top looking hair and thing over her mouth looks absolutely crazy but it is fierce alot of photshop as stated before but i think its the look they were going for its kinda crazy looking though
